00:00:23*amiconn is slightly confused about bertrik's commit message
00:01:19n1slowercase() ;)
00:01:41amiconnNo, the 20:20 one
00:02:05amiconnThe message says the opposite of what actually happened in the code re the macro
00:02:30n1sah, yes i saw that too but checked the diff before the message :)
00:02:56n1sanyway there's yellow for the player build now, but he left
00:07:21midgeyBagder: is the core language set to spanish?
00:07:48Bagderyeah, but I'll check some more tomorrow, time to get some sleep for me now

01:43:29AlexanderrHey you guys, noobie here. Just have a few questions.
01:43:58AlexanderrNumber 1, I have an i-pod nano 2nd generation. Would putting rockbox for the Ipod nano 1st generation be bad?
01:44:32krazykityou can't do that anyway.

01:44:49krazykitTheGazR, yep. what's your wiki name?
01:45:07AlexanderrKrazy, were you talking to me?
01:45:19krazykitAlexanderr, yes.
01:45:34TheGazRIs it different to the name I signed up with on the forums? (If not, I'll have to sign up to the wiki)

01:46:42krazykitAlexanderr, ipodpatcher should complain about no ipods found.
01:47:25AlexanderrIf I were to try it and something go wrong, would it be reversable?
01:47:47krazykitdon't bother trying. it won't work. the 2g is completely different hardware.
01:48:19AlexanderrIs it reversable though? ;)
01:49:37krazykitunzipping the build is. ipodpatcher should flat-out refuse to do anything, though, so you can't alter your ipod anyway.
01:49:58TheGazRNot to sound pushy Alexanderr, but you have came here for help, and are going against what you're being told
01:50:03TheGazRSeems a bit strange to me :)

01:56:44scorche|shAlexanderr: When we say it wont work, we mean "It won't work."...you can go ahead and try if you dont believe us as the tools wont work at all...embedded development is very different from software where things might work, but the producer wont tell you it will...everything has to be made to work with each individual player taking into account any differences
01:57:19AlexanderrThanks for explaining scorche, I see what you mean. The bootloader wouldn't recognize it.
01:57:32AlexanderrDo you know of any cool things that I can do to my Nano 2nd gen?

02:34:33elcastewhat do you mean?
02:34:48elcastewell.. mine would be a 5th generation classic 80gig
02:34:50DerPapstwww.rockbox.org look at the table below the huge logo
02:34:57scorche|shelcaste: classic is the 6th generation
02:35:03DerPapstthere is no 5g classic
02:35:16DerPapstthere is either the classic (aka 6G) or the 5G
02:35:18scorche|shwhat makes you think it is the 5th generation? (i am honestly curious about this)

02:37:51elcastemine is a 6th generation :(
02:38:09scorche|shelcaste: but seriously, what makes you think it was a 5th generation?...i am curious as it seems others think that too, and i dont get why
02:38:10danny_di know. im just mad that my 2nd gen mini broke
02:38:12elcastedamn..i have the .ipg archives for the games..
02:38:21elcastebecause.. at the firmware download page

02:38:28elcastethere is a firmware for an 80gig ipod..
02:38:29danny_dwhats .ipg
02:38:49elcasteand according to me.. theres only 1 version of 80gig..
02:38:55elcastebut know i see it isnt.. :)
02:39:05elcastethere is a 5th gen 80gig
02:39:08scorche|shelcaste: oh...so you went by size and just assumed it was 5th gen and didnt see the "not the classic" part?
02:39:15scorche|shyes there is
02:39:25scorche|shdanny_d: it is offtopic...thats what ;)
02:39:25elcasteyeah.. kinda that..

02:47:38scorche|shdanny_d: rockbox would be useless on any new devices if it was not stable first

02:52:12DerPapstthe batteries in the gigabeats are ways to smal imo
02:52:52danny_dno i am not suggesting dropping it, but instead do fewer new builds and turn the work towards supporting more devices

03:00:19TheGazRI have a random question about Rockbox if I may?
03:00:48DerPapstno. questiontime is over for today
03:01:06TheGazRAww, please :'( ;)
03:01:08danny_dhas story time begin?
03:01:19danny_dbegun?
03:01:21*DerPapst points to the "do not ask to ask" rule in the irc guidelines

03:01:47elcastescorche thank you a lot for your help

03:02:05TheGazRThe device I will try and get RockBOX ported to over the summer currently has a remote control, if drivers were coded properly, would the rockBOX build be able to support it?
03:02:13elcastenow i will stop wasting time on installing rockbox on a 6th generation..
03:02:20elcastelaters take care
03:02:24 Part elcaste
03:02:30DerPapstTheGazR: yes. rockbox already supports remote controls
03:02:36TheGazRAhh, sweet
03:02:59DerPapstfor iAudio and iriver
03:03:17krazykitand gigabeat
03:03:20DerPapstyou "just" have to write the driver for it :-P
03:03:45TheGazRI was a little worried. My device has so many extra gadgets, video out for instance, it's going to be a nightmare writing drivers for handling it all :(
03:03:53DerPapstit supports remotes with display and without
03:03:53 Quit webguest93 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
03:04:16DerPapstbut no video out.
03:04:25DerPapstwhat device is it?
03:04:52krazykitthe angora vx435?
03:04:55TheGazRWell, it's some dodgy Japanese one called Reddmango Angora vx435
03:04:57TheGazRYeah
03:05:03TheGazRHow did you know?
03:05:13TheGazRthe forums?
03:05:16DerPapstcrystal balls n stuff
03:05:26krazykiti added your name to twiki and just saw the thread in the forums :)
03:05:37TheGazRyeah, well spotted :)
03:06:04krazykiti must say, best of luck! it looks like a nice device.
03:06:05TheGazRNot many people seem to have the device, so it's going to be a busy summer for me I guess
03:06:40TheGazRThank you! yeah! It was an excellent price £50 ($100) it has a 120Gb HDD too, but absolutely dire firmware
03:08:05RenfieldHey.
03:08:26TheGazRHello
03:08:38RenfieldI just purchased a Samsung P2. Looks like there isn't current work going on to develop Rockbox for that platform.
03:09:50RenfieldThere's some mention that it is similar to the Cowon D2.
03:09:58RenfieldBut the LCD screen is different.
03:10:13*DerPapst hopes for TheGazR that this thing doesn't have stupid encryption...
03:10:51RenfieldHow would I obtain the documentation for this device?
03:11:29danny_dangenehme nachtruhe!
03:11:33 Part danny_d
03:11:57RenfieldDid I say something stupid?
03:12:13TheGazRPlease be patient Renfield
03:12:41TheGazRDerpapst: I'm confused :S :P
03:12:49RenfieldOh. I just didn't know what danny_d said.
03:13:19DerPapstTheGazR: never devices tend to have encrypted firmwares making it hard to port rockbox to them if not impossible
03:13:26DerPapst*newer
03:13:56DerPapstRenfield: something like "good night"
03:14:11TheGazRyeah, if my German is what it used to be, he is saying sleep well
03:14:31RenfieldOh.
03:14:55*DerPapst should probably go to bed too.
03:15:00DerPapstalready 3:15am
03:15:17TheGazRDerpapst: That's not good news to hear. I hope for my sake it doesn't. Is there any way to tell?
03:15:39 Join dsh-1 [0] (n=daishi@ool-18be2452.dyn.optonline.net)
03:15:49DerPapstdepends on your device. can you copy the firmware of this thing?
03:15:51TheGazRIt's such a good device, and it has so much potential, that it's just all being wasted by god-awful firmware
03:16:15TheGazRI have managed to download a firmware version off the internet
03:16:36TheGazRI don't know if I can copy the firmware directly from the device or not though
03:16:48TheGazRIt doesn't have a bootloader mode that I am aware of
03:16:49DerPapstand maybe run it through a disassembler.... valid arm code good, weird looking one stoping to disassemble after some instructions -> bad
03:17:32DerPapstyou shoudl check if it has some kind of recovery mode incase something wents wrong
03:17:38TheGazRI did a brief google search for a .bin dissembler, I couldn't find anything
03:18:16TheGazRmy god, that spelling was awful, I appoligise, disassambler*

03:21:04TheGazRheh! That's a laugh, I'm a student
03:23:15DerPapstwell. then arm-elf-objdump :-P
03:26:17TheGazRWhere do I find that? A google search wasn't much use
03:26:21TheGazRIs it freeware?
03:26:31TheGazROr is it something that's linux based?

05:57:48scorcheby going to plugins and then to games
05:57:55scorchethe manual doesnt hurt either
05:58:36mavsman4457where does it say plugins?
05:58:41mavsman4457i'm at extras right now
05:58:50scorchei am referring to on the device itself
05:59:34mavsman4457oh ok but for downloading should i just go to the guide then look at the games from there?
06:00
06:00:12krazykitall of the games are included with the builds.
06:00:33mavsman4457oh ok i didn't catch that part, i haven't actually installed the software yet
06:02:52mavsman4457scorche, so there is no nes emulator?
06:02:58scorcheno
06:03:08LloreanPeople have worked on one, but nobody interested in it has finished the work
06:03:49mavsman4457gotcha thanks
06:04:33mavsman4457is there anything that you think is really cool about rockbox that you think i should know before i get started?
06:04:51mavsman4457i've already got all of the themes
06:05:04cool_walking_Why would you want all of the themes?

06:05:41mavsman4457so i can figure out which one i like the best

06:06:41mavsman4457that's why i said "you think"

09:47:05JdGordonso it should be checking to make sure we want to voice?
09:47:26pondlifeI'd be happy for all such checks to be internal to the voice code, if possible.
09:47:51pondlifeHigher levels/UI should be able to call regardless
09:48:35pondlifeIt may be that there's a talk API that's used by both file spelling and voice menus, and won't know the context... can't remember

10:04:06LinusNso it won't know which setting to check

11:39:58pixelmapondlife: yes, I'd like to try on my Ondio
11:40:47pondlifeI didn't add a "Quick Screen" option, do you think that would be worthwhile for button-limited targets? Or should the inclusion of Playback Settings cover enough?
11:42:30pixelmaI didn't understand that part of proposal. What would a "Quick Screen" option do?
11:42:38pondlifeShow the quick screen!
11:42:47pondlifeA slow quick screen, if you will
11:43:01pondlifeI don't like the idea much to be honest
11:43:18pondlifeBut thought you might find it useful - my targets all have enough buttons.
11:44:53***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:46:33pixelmaso that would only be an "option" for targets without the quick screen? Or rather only for the Ondio... (because the player can't have a quick screen anyways). It would also be WPS quick screen only then and thinking of it... the quick screen is not included in the Ondio builds currently. I don't think that's worth it.
11:47:41pondlifeI agree
11:48:04pondlifeThanks for your input though
11:49:45pixelmaand I lived without the quick screen for so long and since the addition of the "Insert Shuffled" on directories don't miss it much - more like forgetting all the time that this thing exists when I use one of my other targets which came all way later. Having the playback option in the WPS context menu is enough (in my eyes and by the sounds of it, will try)
11:51:21pondlifeI'll give it a couple of days before I commit it (while I buy some armour to protect me against the 6 study mode/EQ fans)...

11:54:22Sjanohow can i add, edit and remove music in the rockbox database?
11:57:03 Quit Arathis ("Bye, bye")
11:59:29pixelmaSjano: re"initialise" or "update" it. Maybe enable the "auto-update" but that's said to only work reasonably fast with dircache enabled and the database loaded to RAM. I don't know what you want to edit...
12:00
12:01:06Sjanoedit id tags on the music
12:01:14pixelmaand also: what player do you have?
12:01:22Sjanoipod v5 60GB
12:01:58pixelmaSjano: there's no ID3 editor in Rockbox, you can only do that from a PC
12:02:14Sjanoi tried to update database, but it just didn't do anything but taking a long while.
12:02:31moosSjano: the onlly id tag that you can edit "on the fly" is the rating info one, no more
12:03:47Sjanohow can i see the location of the music? since my ipod has like 7000 files and the rockbox finds like 9500 music files? and most of them are songs i've deleted and duplicates
12:03:56pixelmathat's not an ID3 tag though, only stored in Rockbox's database
12:04:40moosSjano: like pixelma said you, that need an update
12:05:32pixelmaSjano: in the WPS context menu there is an option to view track info, one entry shows you the path too.
12:06:08SjanoUpdate rockbox itself? but i think i got the latest,,,, and update database? well, it doesn't find anything new or update the id tags i've made on files... in other words it dont work
12:06:36 Nick fxb__ is now known as fxb (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)

12:07:17Sjanowhere do i find wps context menu?
12:07:34pixelmayou might want to empty the recycle bin (or run the disktidy plugin). Maybe read the manual a bit... ;)

15:13:30TheGazRWb, Sir.
15:13:32mcuelenaerethe aigo and the vx435 are the same devices, but only differently branded?
15:13:43TheGazRYeah
15:13:54TheGazRThe only thing that's different is the brand, and the size of the HDD
15:15:11mcuelenaere160GB vs 120GB?
15:15:21*LambdaCalculus37 thinks this aigo certainly looks like a quirky little device
15:15:59TheGazRNo, 40Gb > 120Gb
15:16:22mcuelenaere"... the E235 comes in 40GB, 60GB, 80GB, 100GB, 120GB, and 160GB flavors"

15:16:38TheGazROh right
15:16:43TheGazRcool
15:16:55TheGazRyeah, I think it's basically whatever sized laptop HDD you buy

15:17:27TheGazRyeah
15:17:44mcuelenaereah ok :) I thought you were saying you had the 120GB e235
15:17:46TheGazRThe vx435 comes in variable hdd sizes too
15:18:24TheGazRAnd thanks very much for doing the Wiki :)
15:18:37mcuelenaerenp, you can also add some stuff if you want to :)
15:19:03TheGazRYeah - I'm not sure what though :p
15:19:07TheGazRYou've covered most of it
15:19:27mcuelenaereso I suppose you could exchange the firmwares, e.g. from a e235 to a VX435 and vice versa?
15:19:32TheGazRyeah
15:19:45TheGazRExcept there were no firmware updates for the vx435
15:19:47mcuelenaerehave you tried that?
15:20:00TheGazRI updated the firmware for the e235 though
15:20:03TheGazRif that makes sense

15:21:24mcuelenaerehmm, I suppose different hardware versions?

15:23:29TheGazRI have to be honest though - When I first started to think of the idea I had no idea I would get this much support
15:23:40TheGazRYeah, this device does so much

15:35:36OwnerHey guys. I'm about to add a second OS to my computer (right now I have WinXP). I will be using it to work on Rockbox, so I am looking a Linux. Any suggestions as far as Red-Hat/Debian/SUSE? Also would 64 bit be a problem working on Rockbox?

15:36:04TheGazRIf you have little linux experiance, I would suggest Ubuntu
15:36:26krazykitOwner, this is a rockbox-related channel. please take your offtopic questions elsewhere.
15:36:27TheGazRThat's said to be the best for a beginner
15:36:35krazykitas for the 64-bit part, it shouldn't matter as long as your toolchain compiles (which it should)
15:36:43OwnerI don't, but I am very quick at leaning on a computer. Still Ubuntu?
15:37:04TheGazRwell, I don't want to get in trouble for having an off topic discussion, but yes
15:37:10Owneroops
15:38:01mcuelenaereTheGazR: winbond seems to say the W9812G2GH is 128MB SDRAM; are you sure the board has it twice?
15:38:04OwnerI thought that was related...?
15:38:22TheGazRThat's what I thought, it does seem a hell of a lot of memory for such a small device
15:38:30TheGazRbut It has two seperate chips
15:39:00mcuelenaerehmm, even the datasheet for that exact chip seems to mention 128MB..
15:39:02peturOwner: if you come from the windows world I'd suggest ubuntu... works great as rockbox dev platform ;)
15:39:40Ownerthanks guys have a good one.
15:39:49LambdaCalculus37Or just download the Rockbox VMware image, which is a small Debian platform set up and ready to help you do some Rockbox coding.
15:40:10JdGordonpixelma: 8989
15:40:44TheGazRThe only reason I can think of for it needing 256 is for the VOB decoding

16:48:05TheGazRYou can do it either two ways, upload a file called "Update.bin" onto the disk, then go into the 'system' menu, then select 'update firmware' and it searches for that file and starts the update process
16:48:36TheGazRor you can transfer any filename onto the disk, s'long as it ends with .bin, then open it from the 'disk browse' menu
16:48:47DerPapstheh. cool
16:48:53DerPapstand what is if the file faulty?
16:48:58mcuelenaereindeed
16:49:01TheGazRthen you're screwed I guess
16:49:03mcuelenaereis there some kind of recovery menu?
16:49:09TheGazRNot that I'm aware of
16:49:19mcuelenaerehmm that could be a problem
16:49:26TheGazRI've tried different button combinations to see if there's a bootloader of any kind
16:49:36DerPapstmaybe it goes there automatically if the bin is faulty

16:50:06mcuelenaerehave you tried attaching the HDD to a computer?
16:50:12TheGazRit gets loaded from the disk as far as I know

18:36:38TheGazRnavigating to the file, and opening it

18:40:32TheGazREven the best hardware and best software can have a bad flash
18:41:03TheGazRA bad flash on this thing means a nifty looking paper weight

18:42:05mcuelenaerebut I'm pretty sure they have some kind of fallback method
18:42:09TheGazRNo idea how though
18:42:26mcuelenaerewhat happens if you start the device without a HDD attached?

21:07:21bluebrotherfml: the h120 is −− Rockbox might be not ;-)
21:07:34Mouser_X:P
21:07:36fmlbluebrother: :-)
21:08:20bluebrotherlooks like a problem with disktidy then ...
21:08:44Mouser_XI've never had disktidy do anything but crash for me...
21:09:00DerPapst_fml: do you get that everytime you run disktidy?
21:09:07fmlAnother issue: I wanted to install (update) rockbox on H120. For some reason, RbUtil thought I have sansa e200 and installed that. I haven't noticed because during the installation, the model is not shown. I think it would be a good feedback.
21:09:24DerPapst_heh :D

21:10:49fmlDerDome: I only tried once. Not I got it once again!
21:10:52Mouser_Xpreglow: SID does. It plays each song endlessly. I'd say that one should behave more like NSF does.
21:10:59bluebrotherbut anyway, I thought about adding a sanity check before installing (well, at least when using the automated installation)
21:11:11bluebrotherMouser_X: how does NSF behave?

21:11:50bluebrotherhehe ... but I would be interested why rbutil thought you'd have an e200. Did you install on an e200 before that?
21:12:00Mouser_Xbluebrother: It plays each song for a set amount of time (2:00 IIRC), unless "Repeat 1" is enabled.
21:12:21fmlDerPapst_: after pressing PLAY rockbox boots up again. Pressing STOP does nothing.
21:12:30n1sI would love a way to make sid advance to the next track automatically
21:12:34Mouser_XWith "Repeat 1" enabled, it allows you to skip through the various songs contained in the NSF (w/o having to hold down next/previous to do so otherwise.)
21:12:54bluebrotherMouser_X: but that's quite awkward too. Is it completely impossible to figure the end of the track?
21:13:07Mouser_XNSF is an emulated format.
21:13:14Mouser_XIn other words, pretty much yes.
21:13:22domonokybluebrother: do you know if it is possible in linux to get noticed when a usb insert occurs ? (so that rnutil can detect it..)
21:13:23Mouser_X(As for SID, I don't know.)

21:15:34Mouser_Xbluebrother: For SIDs, there is apparently some form of tagging available (NSFs can have tags, but then they're NSFe files). The tags are contained in a seperate file.
21:15:36bluebrotherMouser_X: I think it would be much saner to treat subsongs as an internal cuesheet.
21:15:47DerPapst_put arrows next to each entry that doesn't start with <
21:15:53bluebrotherIIRC linuxstb suggested that already
21:15:56preglowMouser_X: sids don't have tagging, they have that huge hvsc text file

21:16:06preglowMouser_X: the data exists, but in highly impractical form

21:16:33Mouser_Xpreglow: I see. I've never gotten it to work, so I didn't know how it was implemented.

21:18:41bluebrotherdomonoky: do you really think it's feasible to detect changes upon runtime?
21:19:12bluebrotherwell, I want to check a few things upon startup: (1) check player, (2) permissions (at least if needed), (3) network
21:19:21domonokydetection while running would be nice, but it isnt needed..
21:19:24bluebrothermaybe a few other things too.

21:19:56bluebrotheron windows, that is
21:20:32fmlDerPapst_: I have icons disabled. Could that be the reason?
21:20:34domonokyat least for the device, we only need the patchers for ipod mini.. all others have different ids...
21:20:57DerPapst_probably... don't know how the simple lists work withough
21:21:05domonokyfinding a way to map the ids to mountpoints would be good... i will try another attempt.. :-)
21:21:09bluebrotherI wouldn't count on that not to change in the future
21:23:08fmlDerPapst_: yes, that's the icons setting! The markers are shown via icons :-/ Not good.
21:23:47fmlIs it possible to create a bookmark without stopping playback?
21:24:06fmlThe manual only tells about the 'bookmark on stop' option
21:24:18DerPapst_hm. no idea if there is another no icon way... maybe force an icon (bullet or so)
21:24:21bluebrotherfml: sure. There's a bookmark entry in the context menu
21:24:53DerPapst_fml: could you make a bug report for it? So that JdGordon|zzz can have a look at it.
21:26:48fmlbluebrother: and that will mark just the song? Or the position in the song as well? What if I want to marks many (3-4) points?

21:28:09palbuddyis there any way to make it work 100%?
21:28:19bluebrotherpalbuddy: you need to boot into the OF for disc access

21:28:57palbuddyokay
21:28:59palbuddyI'll try that
21:29:08Mouser_XTo boot into the OF, I just insert the USB cable while my Sansa is turned off.
21:29:11bertrik^−−- what bluebrother said is easier than what I said
21:29:15bluebrotherbut I don't have a e200, can't confirm 100%. Others can do ... ;-)

21:29:36bluebrothers/can do/did/ ;-)
21:31:02fmlDerPapst_: done. http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9023
21:32:22palbuddyokay when do I release the 'left button' because when I do, it goes through a cycle of 'connect disconnect' and ends up not working
21:32:34palbuddynot working as getting to the OF
21:32:41palbuddy(OF meaning Official Firmware I assume)
21:33:01Mouser_Xpalbuddy: When you have your e200 off, and insert the USB cable, what happens?
21:33:05DerPapst_fml: thanks
21:33:13Mouser_X(No need to push any buttons.)
21:33:18palbuddymouser it automatically turns on
21:33:28Mouser_XAnd does what?
21:34:17palbuddygoes to the rockbox boot loader, and then cycles from connected, disconnected for a while
21:34:36Mouser_XIf you have a SD in the slot, it will update the database. Remove the card (if you have one inserted).
21:34:52palbuddyno I don't have any SD card at all in it
21:34:59Mouser_XIf you don't have one inserted, then check your settings. Maybe you have MTP enabled?
21:35:21Mouser_X(If you do, maybe the Sansa doesn't like the way Linux is trying to interface with the MTP stuff.)
21:35:31Mouser_XOtherwise, I have nothing else to offer.
21:35:35palbuddycan I change that through rockbox?
21:35:39Mouser_XNope.
21:35:43crash91Well i can confirm, its doing the same for me on mine (MSC)
21:35:46Mouser_XIt's an OF thing.
21:36:04palbuddyokay so to boot into OF, turn on, hold left without the USB?
21:36:32Mouser_XI don't know. I always use the USB method to get into OF, and then remove the USB.
21:37:09crash91palbuddy: You can either plug the USB in while its off, or switch it on and hold left until the rockbox bootloader completes
21:37:31palbuddyokay one sec here
21:38:29crash91I have libmtp and mtpfs installed, yet i can only access mine from Banshee, so i highly doubt its an MTP-related problem.
21:39:06 Quit J (Remote closed the connection)
21:39:46 Quit crope`` ("Leaving")
21:41:06palbuddyUSB should be at MTP?
21:41:30gevaertsNo, MSC
21:41:34crash91palbuddy: no, I was ruling out Mouser_X's suggestion a few lines back.
21:41:55palbuddyall right
21:42:53palbuddyyeah, I'm in the OF and then it just cycles through from connected to disconnected until it doesn't work
21:42:59palbuddybut I suppose then it's not a rockbox issue
21:43:04palbuddyso I should leave you guys alone then
21:43:50bertrikmaybe it's a USB power problem, can you connect it directly through a shorter USB cable or through a powered hub?
21:44:09palbuddywell it's a usb 1.1 (I do have an old laptop) maybe that could be it?
21:44:28crash91palbuddy: yes maybe.
21:44:34gevaertsIt shouldn't
21:44:53palbuddyI'll do some google searching, and lurk in the background
21:45:04crash91palbuddy: What happens if you hold left, wait for it to finish the database rebuild and then connect?
21:45:11palbuddybtw rockbox is pretty amazing though, kudos to the programmers and you helpers though
21:45:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:45:23palbuddycrash, in rockbox? or in the OF?
21:45:34crash91palbuddy: while booting to get to the OF.
21:46:36palbuddywell, it doesn't refresh the database
21:47:09palbuddyit just goes to the menu and that's it

23:35:14scorche|shbluebrother: one thing i noticed while using rbutil last night...i was installing themes and if you choose to install just one, it will install and then close the themes window, so if you, say, only wanted to install 3 of the themes, you would need to click, install, hit next, hit themes again, click, install, next, etc....is there a reason for this?
23:36:50bluebrotherscorche|sh: you can select multiple entries from the list by holding Ctrl
23:38:09 Quit Mathiasdm ("Yuuw!")

23:39:42bluebrotherfrom my current point of view it makes sense, as if installation was successful you have done all tasks in that window ...

23:40:58scorche|shit seems odd that the actual installing window requires you to hit next to close it, yet the themes window closes automatically
23:41:11AceNikhey guys this seems like a good patch, can it be included http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/8955
23:41:11bluebrotherin that case you'd need to close the logger and the theme window. I think that would be a bit inconvenient for most users
23:41:24bluebrotherbut we could make the logger autoclose after a timeout
23:41:45scorche|shand i think it was disucssed before, but autodetection really could use a progress bar (even if it is a simple window that says "autodetecting...")

23:42:06bluebrotheryep.
23:42:41bluebrotherI want to rework quite a few things to make it more user-friendly. Currently I'm reworking the bootloader installation (that class became quite a mess)
23:42:48scorche|shi hit it, didnt see anything...wanted to hit it again...noticed that rbutil was "frozen" and then waited a couple more seconds before it got done
23:43:20scorche|shyeah...guiding instructions would be nice too, but you already know about that (it says so in the manual)
